Flamenco dancer Savannah Fuentes and singer/multi-instrumentalist, Diego Amador Jr., direct from Seville, will present “Night Flowers, an evening of Flamenco,” at 8 p.m. Thursday, July 21, at the Vashon Havurah, at 15401 Westside Hwy SW.
Fuentes has independently produced and danced in more than 400 performances and workshops featuring internationally recognized Spanish Flamenco artists, including Diego Amador Jr., Saray Munoz, and Jesus Montoya.
She was born in Seattle to parents of Puerto Rican and Irish ancestry. Her fascination with Flamenco dance (baile) and singing (cante) came to her in early childhood, fueled by watching a Flamenco performance on television — “…and, although I was just a child, I felt an immediate connection to the art form,” she said.
Amador was born into Flamenco royalty. His father is the celebrated pianist/composer Diego Amador and his uncles are Rafael and Raimundo Amador (Pata Negra).
The 27-year-old Amador recently released his first full-length album, “Presente en el Tiempo.” Known mainly as a singer, he also plays guitar, piano, and percussion.
